Will Wireless-Wireline Convergence be a big blah?

With all the news about convergence between wireline and wireless networks, we are eagerly awaiting a “converged future.” Carlo Longino says, “I’d love to be able to get the rates of my Vonage connection, particularly on international calls, on my mobile phone from any hotspot. Just thinking about what that could do to ridiculous international roaming rates sounds great, too…but I’m beginning to get a little skeptical converged products will live up to the hype.” I think he might be right, but the carriers are going to push it anyway!
